By a large and full improovement of some principall arguments for it, and a briefe resolution of such materiall objections as are made against it. Whereunto is annexed a briefe and plaine Enarration, both doctrinall and practicall, upon Mark 10.V.13.14.15.16.

we have not what wee would have our hearts are ready to repine and murmure Are there not some amongst us who care not what wrong what injury they do to others so they may but benefit and advantage themselves Are there not others of an implacable spirit Being once offended once provoked they will never be reconciled never forgive much lesse forget injuries Are there not some who do not know what it is to un-load their cares their fears their sorrowes into the bosome of their heavenly Father by powring forth their soules before him And are there not others who walk stubbornly against God not regarding either precepts or promises or threatnings no they are obstinate Their necke is an iron sinew and their browbrasse as the Lord complaines against the people of the Jewes Surely such there are some of every of these sorts to bee found amongst us And is this to be like unto Children In this to receive the Kingdome of God as little children Let the Conviction take place with those to whom it belongeth who may here see themselves shut out of the Kingdome of God Marke the Text. Verily I say unto you whosoever shall not receive the kingdome of God as a little childe he shall not enter therein As for such then who are un-like unto children it may bee every wayes un-like un-lesse happily therein wherein they ought not to resemble them viz. in knowledge and understanding Brethren be not children in understanding saith the Apostle Herein happily they are too like unto children having no more understanding in spirituall matters the mysteries of Gods kingdome then they But in all other imitable qualities they are altogether un-like them Now let not such flatter themselves with vaine hopes of ever entring into Gods Kingdome No it cannot bee Hee that is Truth it selfe here speaketh it and hee speaketh it both earnestly and peremptorily So much will appeare from a re-view of the words First earnestly So much that Asseveration which we meet with in the entrance of the Text imports Verily I say unto you Amen which in the beginning of a sentence hath the force of a vehement Asseveration importing a serious and earnest affirmation or negation Secondly Peremptorily He shall not enter There is an Emphasis in the originall which our Translation here hath not expressed 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Two negatives put together which in the Greeke tongue do vehementius negare confirme the negation or denyall of a thing like two witnesses to a Testimony making it more peremptory more certaine He shall not enter Nequam ingredietur He shall in no wise enter So we finde it translated else-where and so it ought to be here 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 In no wise or by no means Thus is the Kingdome of God both locked and boulted against all such Locked and that by him who hath the key of David who shutteth and no man openeth Bolted and that with a double boult 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 He shall in no wise enter Thus hath Christ put it out of doubt Whosoever shall not receive the kingdome of God as a little childe he shall not enter therein Vse 2. Let this then in the second place bee a motive to every of us setting on this usefull exhortation that we would labour to be such Would we enter into the kingdome of God of Grace here of Glory hereafter Be we as children It is a Copie you see which our blessed Saviour himselfe hath set before us Let us write after it propounding this patterne to our selves study to imitate it Bee wee as children As children without malice as children without guile as children for humility as children for contentation as children for innocency forgiving and forgetting injuries as children upon all occasions complaining to our heavenly Father as children Obedient as children Imitate we them in every of these Specially in the last That the Text leadeth us to more particularly Receive we the kingdome of God as little Children The kingdome of God as I told you is here his Kingdome of grace and glory His kingdome of grace The government which hee exerciseth in and over his Elect upon earth whom he guideth and governeth by his Word and Spirit His Kingdome of glory That blessed state which hee hath provided for his Elect hereafter Now receive we both these as little children viz. humbly submissively First Thus receive we his kingdome of grace Yeelding up our selves as little children do themselves to their Parents and Governours to bee instructed and ordered by him according to his good will and pleasure Resigning up our understandings and our judgements unto him So doe little children they yeeld themselves as an abratatabula white paper for their teachers to write any thing upon what they please receiving their instructions quietly submissively without quarrelling or cavalling Even thus receive we the Kingdome of God the mysteries of his Kingdome Such truths as God hath been pleased to reveale unto us in his Word let us receive them entertaine them quietly readily with a holy submission of our understandings and judgements not standing to quarrell with or cavill against any truth of God because we cannot apprehend the reason of it Herein looke upon our patterne Children do not apprehend the reason of things which are taught and told them yet they receive them and believe them The like do we in the mysteries of Gods Kingdome 1. Captivating our understandings and judgements yeelding up both unto God to receive and believe what ever is held forth unto us in the Word And then 2ly In like manner yeeld up our wills and affections Let Gods will be our will to which let us stoope and submit though contrariant and crossing to our wills So doth the childe Though happily it may be crossed in what it would have and doe yet it submits it yeelds Even so doe wee Yeeld wee up our selves as to be instructed so to bee ordered by God to be in what state and condition he pleaseth to doe and to suffer what he will have us to do Thus behave we our selves in life even as a child So did David as himselfe telleth us Psal 131. Surely I behav'd and quieted my selfe as a Childe that is weaned c. A childe in the weaning is froward and tangle then nothing will please it but the breast But being once weaned then usually it is quiet and contented with any thing In this be we as children not like children in the weaning so as if we have not what we would have nothing shall please us But like children weaned behaving our selves quietly and contentedly yeelding up our selves to the ordering of our heavenly Father And thus behave we our selves in death Therin also as children Children Infants as they are ordered by their Mothers or Nurses in the day so they are put to bed by them at night when and where and after what manner they please for the most part falling asleepe in the Nurses lap Even thus do we resigne up our selves unto God our heavenly Father to be disposed of him as in life so in death to bee put to
